J.L. KAUL AICB CELEBRATES THE 70TH BIRTHDAY OF MR. J.L. KAUL Dear friends, With immense joy and cheer we take pleasure in sharing with you an important moment in the life of AICB. Today, Monday, 28th July, 2014, the beloved leader of thousands of visually impaired persons and our founder Secretary General, Mr. J.L. Kaul is turning 70. As is well known, for more than 47 years, Mr. Kaul's personal life has been synonymous with his complete commitment and dedication to the work for the blind. With only nine other persons and a meager three hundred rupees (less than five dollars in today's context) with him, Mr. Kaul had the indomitable spirit to form a national organization of the Blind, namely, the All India Confederation of the Blind. Today AICB is a widely acknowledged name both nationally and internationally owing to Mr. Kaul's single minded devotion and hard work. The efforts of this unique man, who is in office for ten hours a day 365 days a year without taking any benefit or honorarium from AICB, have been recognized the world over. Among several distinctions with which Mr. Kaul has been honoured are the first Marga Schulze International Award in the year 2006 and the Louis Braille Medal (the highest international distinction conferred on a person committed to work for the blind) by the World Blind Union in 2012. Recognizing Mr. Kaul's commitment and contribution to the work for the blind and the difference he has made to the growth of social sector in India, the Government of India honoured him with Padamshri this year. Such national recognitions are accorded only to a handful of individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the country. The honour was conferred on Mr. Kaul by the President of India in a grand State Function on 31st March, 2014. AICB celebrates Mr. Kaul's 70th birthday today at 2.30 pm in-house in a simple manner. As Mr. Kaul cuts the cake that day, he would no doubt remember all those who have stood by him and AICB in moments of both tribulations and triumphs. We are sure you will join us in your thoughts in wishing Mr. Kaul a long and happy life. With gratitude for your continued support, Sincerely Yours, AICB Family.
